You may want to consider a slightly raised intake lip in front of your DF units that blends into the leading edge of the wing. This might let air flow over the ducted fan "holes" and negate the need for heavy, complicated door covers. From all of the contest parameters I have seen it sounds like obstacle avoidance may be the most difficult to achieve. Looking forward to more from this group.

We are using APC props for our forward flight motor. As for the lift fans, we've actually just finished a redesign and we've significantly reduced the size and thrust requirements for this system. We'll update the website with this new resizing soon! Hi stroup, thanks for the comments!

I have had better performance with APC props... And if you need more blades for the restricted diameter.... they make 3 blades and you can always stack two 2 bladed props one in front of the other.... in the size range you are working… I have had better performance with APC props…
